Farage just told the EU Parliament they were behaving like the mafia

[Yesterday Once More]

The President (who happens to be Italian) intervened to suggest that the language wasn't appropriate, so Nigel said "I appreciate there are certain national sensitivities......ok then, you're gangsters"

Gosh what a wit - you must still be chuckling about. ****

Clearly a graduate of the Ken Livingstone school of diplomacy.

Whatever happened to statesmen? Great, dignified orators, like Walpole, Pitt, Churchill and Hague?

All gone, alas, replaced by minnows.

I do wish that Farage would understand that he has now served his purpose and we'd all be rather grateful if he fûcked off and left things to the grown-ups.

He's such a vulgar little man, isn't he? Mind you, he sports quite the pair of brass balls.

As you say, enough now.

He should have been made a peer and packed off to the House of Lords where he can do no damage.

Bit like Dennis Skinner saying half the tory party were corrupt... he was told that wasn't acceptable. So changed it to half the tory part aren't corrupt

In the EU parliament, he *is* the grown-up though. The French guillotined all theirs ages ago and the Germans have, reasonably enough, I guess, been completely ignoring theirs since World War 2.

Yes, but we voted to leave the EU in part because the EU Parliament is a meaningless and ineffectual rubber stamp/talking shop fit only for worthless posturing by gravy-trainers, so it seems odd for him to keep standing there, getting paid by our taxes to mouth off to no good effect. Just do the morally consistent thing and walk away from the bloody shambles.

That would be rather premature, wouldn't it. Swathes of Britain "remain" besotted by the EU, by which they think they mean Europe, of course.

This battle, within a wider war, is far from won.
